sounds like you will have to creatively hack the harness up, but should be able to do it, sure.
Bart on here has a Bronco (IIRC), but i think it is a later model.

good luck with the project.

"And never was heard a discouraging word..."
Great idea, but...
You realize you're going to have to upgrade the tranny and axles even if you're 'very easy' on it? I've driven a 66 with the std. 289 in it and it is fun! I don't see a big problem utilizing the EFI separate from your main wiring. I'm sure some of the others will kick in on this. Oh, don't forget about the return fuel lines and the high pressure fuel pump you'll need... And the new gas pedal linkage.

A friend at work has a 69 Bronco w/ a FI 5.0 HO in it. I don't know the details but he said it wasn't hard to do.

Your rear axle (unless you changed it) is 8.75" not the 9". Should be code WEN or WEM-A or B. The 9" axles are 4.57 ratio. The front axle is a Spicer 30F. The shop manual only lists the 170 I6 as available. It may have been 67 or 68 with the 302 installed. Only 1 transfer case listed and it bolts to the extension housing of the only tranny available, a 3.03 three speed. You may have to find parts from a later model Bronco to mate everything together. Probably driveshafts then, also.
Hope it works out for what you want. Post again for any more info.

OK...
Pins on the EEC that are not on the engine harness;
Pin #
3 - VSS input
19 - fuel pump monitor
22 - fuel pump
30 - neutral switch

There are some grounds and 12v inputs that I'm not sure of, but the 4 above are the only other inputs you would have to supply for the swap. I think you might have to change your ignition switch also. Maybe someone else can confirm the above for you.
